Abstract
Abstracts are not currently available in GtR for all funded research. This is normally because the abstract was not required at the time of proposal submission, but may be because it included sensitive information such as personal details.
Technical Summary
Zika virus (ZIKV) is transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes, primarily Ae. aegypti, a significant
virus vector in tropical regions worldwide. The highly invasive species, Ae. albopictus, can be
infected with ZIKV and may be an important vector too, especially as it occurs in temperate
regions, including mainland Europe, and threatens the UK. Mosquito species native to UK and
Europe, such as the human biting Aedes detritus and Ae. vexans, can support other
flaviviruses and may present an as yet unknown risk from ZIKV.
UoL/LSTM hold the UK’s first infection system for high-containment viruses in live
mosquitoes. Our main goal is to establish the first such system for ZIKV, and use it to answer
key questions regarding the vector competences of Ae aegypti and Ae albopictus, the
environmental temperature threshold required for transmission, and the risk presented by
indigenous UK or European Aedes mosquitoes, including Ae. detritus and Ae vexans. Such
data are essential to determine the risk of transmission of ZIKV in temperate zones of
western Europe and elsewhere.
The project has four complementary objectives:
1. Establish the UK’s first Zika virus – mosquito infection system
2. Compare vector competence of field-derived Ae. aegypti and Ae. albopictus.
3. Quantify the effect of temperature on the extrinsic incubation period of ZIKV in Ae. aegypti
and Ae. albopictus and determine temperature thresholds for transmission.
4. Assess the vector competence of UK and European mosquitoes for ZIKV.

Description | We showed that certain types of mosquito present in the UK are able to transmit Zika virus. Mosquito-borne Zika virus (ZIKV) transmission has almost exclusively been detected in the tropics despite the distributions of its primary vectors extending farther into temperate regions. Therefore, it was unknown whether ZIKV's range has reached a temperature-dependent limit, or if it can spread into temperate climates. Using field-collected mosquitoes for biological relevance, we found that two common temperate mosquito species, Aedes albopictus and Ochlerotatus detritus, were competent for ZIKV. We orally exposed mosquitoes to ZIKV and held them at between 17 and 31°C, estimated the time required for mosquitoes to become infectious, and applied these data to a ZIKV spatial risk model. We identified a minimum temperature threshold for the transmission of ZIKV by mosquitoes between 17 and 19°C. Using these data, we generated standardized basic reproduction number R0-based risk maps and we derived estimates for the length of the transmission season for recent and future climate conditions. Our standardized R0-based risk maps show potential risk of ZIKV transmission beyond the current observed range in southern USA, southern China and southern European countries. Transmission risk is simulated to increase over southern and Eastern Europe, northern USA and temperate regions of Asia (northern China, southern Japan) in future climate scenarios. |
Exploitation Route | Further mosquito infection studies on: (i) more UK species; (ii) different titres of virus, particularly to investigate titres found in people; (iii) more detailed investigation of temperature (ie, a larger number of constant temperatures, especially at the lower end of the range; (iv) the effects of varying temperature similar to those experienced in the wild. |
